Indianapolis nightclub closing

November 26, 2005

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A small nightclub that had the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alanis Morissette on stage during its more than 40-year history is closing because its owners say the venue does not make much money anymore. The Patio has hosted hundreds of bands over the years, including many national acts in their early days, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1985, the Smashing Pumpkins in 1990 and Morissette in 1995. Other acts that have played there include Juliana Hatfield, Guided By Voices, the Wallflowers, Dave Navarro and Uncle Tupelo. The club opened and began hosting live music in 1950, but was not called the Patio until 1962. The Patio will have its final show today.
